POPOVER PAN POPOVER RECIPE
This recipe came from the packaging on the popover pan I bought from Williams Sonoma. I've tried a few other recipes on this site that call for starting with a cold oven, but this one turned out much better. This is half the recipe on the package, so it makes one 6 cup pan worth. Unfortunately I cannot provide guidance on how to convert this recipe to a muffin pan, hopefully others may post notes.

NEW POPOVER PAN RECIPE
I recently got a large-sized popover pan, and wanted to try the recipe that came with it. I like that the batter can be mixed quickly by hand. Popovers are a most interesting quick bread: they don't use yeast or chemical leavenings to make them rise. They rely on steam to form oversize, crispy breads that pop up 3 times their...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease 6 wells of a large popover pan with soft butter and a pastry brush.
- 2. Use a large mixing bowl and a wire whisk. Beat the eggs, milk, and salt together. Mix in the flour until completely smooth. Continue mixing for a few minutes to develop the gluten. Add the melted butter after the gluten is developed so the fat will not interfere with the gluten development.
- 3. Fill the prepared cups only a scant half-full. Bake for 40 minutes on the center rack. The popovers will dry and become rigid.
- 4. Turn off the oven, open the door, and with a sharp knife, quickly make a 1" slit in the side of each popover to release the steam. Close the oven door and let them sit for 10-15 minutes. During this period, the interior of the popovers should become dry and sturdy.
- 5. Lift the popovers from the pan immediately after removing the pan from the oven by grasping the tops with an oven mitt or glove.
- 6. Serve plain, or with butter and jam. Best served hot, straight from the oven. ***They can also be cut open and filled with sweetened berries and topped with whipped cream for a shortcake-type dessert.***
Tips:
- Use the right pan: A popover pan is essential for making popovers. It has deep, straight sides that allow the popovers to rise evenly.
- Preheat the pan: Preheat the popover pan in a hot oven before adding the batter. This will help the popovers rise quickly and evenly.
- Use cold ingredients: Cold ingredients will help the popovers rise higher. Use cold milk, eggs, and butter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the popovers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the cups only halfway: The popovers will rise a lot, so only fill the cups halfway with batter.
- Bake the popovers at a high temperature: Bake the popovers at a high temperature (450 degrees Fahrenheit) for the first 15 minutes. This will help them rise quickly.
- Reduce the temperature: After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue baking for another 25-30 minutes.
- Don't open the oven door: Opening the oven door during baking will cause the popovers to fall.
- Serve the popovers immediately: Popovers are best served immediately after they are baked. They will start to deflate as they cool.
Conclusion:
Popovers are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. By following these tips, you can make perfect popovers every time. Popovers can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, jam, honey, or syrup. They can also be filled with eggs, cheese, or meat.
